| How much hum is normal from a new tube amp I have the integre4 mkI. No hum. Also, unlike the Qualiton A75 it replaces, it does not exhibit sensitivity to emi/rfi in my setup. The Qualiton did. | |
| Tube Integrated With Clarity Zombie thread and yet it’s begging for a recommendation of the Aurorasound HFSA-01, which fits this description better than any other amp I know (and, my experience on the merry-go-round is embarrassingly vast and circuitous). | |
| Are you interested in the new generation of "old school" design loudspeakers? @darkmatter i own the ls5/5s and am fully enamored. How do the 5/1s, which I’ve never heard, compare? | |
| Audia Flight FL 10 with Harbeth Super HL5 Plus...Interconnects??????Speaker Cables ?????? Hi, it developed a fault and was extremely inconvenient to service during the pandemic. While it worked, the FLS10 was superb! | |
| Moonriver 404 = Midrange Magic @gryphongryph absolutely concur - the idea of replacing a graham ls5/9 or LS6 with a Harbeth throws all perceptual credibility to the wind. | |
| Spendor Classic 3/1 vs Graham Chartwell LS6 ? I have owned the A1, A4, and LS6 speakers. The Graham LS6 provide a sense of natural scale and immersion that just feel much more involving to me; it is a more open and dynamic sound than Spendors and make me want to play loud; the Spendors faded ... | |
| Audio Research I/50 @stone1 Thanks for asking. I mentioned age as I second @chris_launder ’s observation that the multiple colors offered and relatively low pricing for an AR unit is meant to attract new and younger listeners to the brand. I bring this up specificall... | |
| Audio Research I/50 I just ordered one for a second system and look forward to providing more clarity on the biasing issue from my AR dealer. I agree that brands like Linear Tube Audio that provide complete audio bias around this price point would generally be more ... | |
| Sugden IA-4 I prefer the IA-4 to the Z10 when used with the Devore 93s - a much more dynamic, clear, and spacious presentation. The Z10 has a mild sweetness to the sound but is a little too delicate and undramatic for me; I do like the microzotl preamps and l... | |
| Audia Flight FL 10 with Harbeth Super HL5 Plus...Interconnects??????Speaker Cables ?????? Hi Jethro — sorry to be late to the party! I am running the FLS10 with Analysis Plus Silver Apex Xlrs from my Emm Labs Dac2x V2; had been previously using Black Cat 3202 RCAs and the sound now trades in a little exuberant spaciousness for some mor... | |
| Rogers EHF-200 MkII vs Rogers KWM-88 Corona Thanks for picking up this thread! I am so glad you are enjoying the KWM-88, as it was at the heart of one of my favorite systems at CAF 2019 (the last audio show I was able to visit) driving Sonner Audio Allegro Unums. I did eventually acquire an... | |
| Sonnet Audio Morpheus @mitch2 i share those sentiments entirely. Cees has accomplished so much with both Metrum and Sonnet. I simply wanted to weigh into provide a user’s direct experience, which tends to contradict the gushing reviews regarding the Sonnet’s purported ... | |
| Sonnet Audio Morpheus Maybe it’s just me, but I feel that the Morpheus makes notable sacrifices in drive for a smidge of delicacy, particularly with its single-ended outputs lacking the output transformers of the Pavane, which in guises from the L1 to L3 sounds conside... | |
| Metrum Onyx versus Metrum Pavane From the website, it looks as though Metrum has closed shop. I do not at all regret owning the Pavane L3 however - transient precision, body, raw drive (I feel like I gained another octave), and resolution readily exceed the following DACs in my s... | |
| Studio Electric M4 I own this speaker and it fully lives up to the above description. I have had great speakers from Devore, Silverline, Ryan, Spendor, Dynaudio, and numerous others (and I admire these brands); I hesitate to pick favorites but I keep coming back to ... |
